Leo-Geo Winds Go Operational at the Met Office: The "leo-geo" polar wind product that is generated in near real-time at the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS), is now (April 2015) used in the operational numerical weather prediction system at the (UK) Met Office. The leo-geo wind product combines data from geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites to form Arctic and Antarctic composites from which winds are derived. (D. Santek, CIMSS, 608-263-7410; M.
